Sound Check and Gain Adjustment

SLXD4

Navigate to the receiver's Gain screen to test the transmitter at performance levels. Adjust the gain to keep the audio indicator

within the optimal range. Reduce the gain if there is audible distortion of the audio.

SLXD5

Navigate to Audio Out > Mic/Line to select the overall output level for your receiver. Set the gain for the Audio Out and

Headphone outputs independently from their respective menu screens.

How to Link SLX-D Transmitters and Receivers

Creating Audio Channels

A wireless audio channel is formed when a receiver and transmitter are tuned to the same frequency. The SLX-D frequency

setup provides 3 methods for tuning the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency:

•

Group and Channel Scan: The receiver scans the RF spectrum for the best available frequency and an IR sync automat

ically tunes the transmitter to the receiver frequency

•

Manual Group, Channel, or Frequency Selection: Manually set the receiver and transmitter to the same group and

channel number, or frequency

•

SLXD4 Guided Frequency Setup: A step-by-step guide to walk you through the process

Important! Before you begin a scan or frequency assignment:

•

Connect all the receivers in your system using Ethernet cables. For best results, use a network switch when connecting 3

or more receiver units.

•

Turn off all transmitters for the system you are setting up, to prevent interference with frequency scans.

•

Turn on any other devices that may cause interference, such as other wireless systems, computers, CD players, large

LED panels, and effects processors. This allows the scan to detect and avoid interference from these devices.

What are Groups and Channels?

To minimize interference, Shure wireless systems organize RF bands into predefined groups and channels. A group is a set

of compatible frequencies within a frequency band. A single frequency within a group is a channel. Tune a receiver and trans

mitter to the best available channel within its group to set up your system.

Note: All receivers in the same band should be set to the same group. Because groups are banddependent, some systems don't have multiple groups. Sin

gle-group bands have the same RF performance as those with multiple groups.

Linking Two Transmitters to a Receiver

Linking two transmitters to a receiver offers the flexibility to provide a performer with either a handheld or bodypack transmitter

to meet their preference. For performances requiring instrument changes, two bodypack transmitters can be linked to a single

receiver.

Note: Only turn on and operate one transmitter at a time to prevent interference between the transmitters.

Syncing the Transmitters to the Receiver

Both transmitters must be individually linked to the receiver by performing an IR Sync.

1.

Turn on the first transmitter and perform an IR Sync with the receiver.

2.

Perform a sound check and adjust the transmitter gain if necessary. When finished, turn off the transmitter.

3.

Turn on the second transmitter and perform an IR Sync with the receiver.

4.

Test the transmitter at performance conditions and adjust the transmitter gain if necessary. When finished, turn off the

transmitter.

Matching Audio Levels with Mic Offset

When linking two transmitters to a receiver, there may be a difference in volume levels between microphones or instruments. If

this occurs, use the Mic Offset function to match the audio levels and eliminate audible volume differences between transmit

ters. If using a single transmitter, set Mic Offset to 0 dB.

1.

Turn on the first transmitter and perform a sound check to test the audio level. Turn off the transmitter when finished.

2.

Turn on the second transmitter and perform a sound check to test the audio level.

3.

If there is an audible difference in the sound level between the transmitters, navigate to the Mic Offset menu on the

transmitter to increase or decrease the Mic Offset to match the audio levels.

Firmware Release Requirements

All devices are part of a network with multiple communications protocols that work together to ensure proper operation. The

recommended best practice is that all devices are on an identical release. To view the firmware version of each device on the

network, navigate to device configuration and look under  (Settings)  > Firmware.

The format for Shure device’s firmware is MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. (Ex. 1.6.2 where 1 is the Major firmware level, 6 is the Mi

nor firmware level, and 2 is the Patch firmware level.) At a minimum, devices that operate on the same subnet should have

identical MAJOR and MINOR release numbers.

•

Devices of different MAJOR releases are not compatible.

•

Differences in the PATCH firmware release level may introduce undesired inconsistencies.

Important Product Regulatory Information

Introduction to EMC

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or conducted along power or signal leads,

that endangers the functioning of radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly inter

rupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services include but are not limited to AM/FM commer

cial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS).

These licensed radio services, and unlicensed radio services, such as WLAN, ZIGBEE or Bluetooth, along with unintentional

radiators such as digital devices contribute to the electromagnetic environment.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to function properly together in the electron

ic environment. While this equipment has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI,

there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Shure products are designed, tested, and classified for their intended electromagnetic environment. These electromagnetic en

vironment classifications generally refer to the following harmonized definitions:

•

Class B products are intended for use in residential/domestic environments but may also be used in non-residential/non-

domestic environments.

Note: The residential/domestic environment is an environment where the use of broadcast radio and television receivers may be expected within a dis

tance of 10 m from where this product is used.

•

Class A products are intended for use in nonresidential/nondomestic environments. Class A products may also be uti

lized in residential/domestic environments but may cause interference and require the user to take adequate corrective

measures.

EMC conformance testing is based on the use of supplied and recommended cable types. The use of other cable types may degrade EMC performance.
